There's Something Wrong With This Account

Under normal circumstances, Lu Xun would have never landed unguardedly in the middle of Qingling City’s main street like this.

But now that the city was almost empty, he didn’t have to worry as much.

Qingling City was said to built upon the shell of the Black Turtle. Well, it was not just a tale, but a truth.

Here, turtles are considered auspicious creatures.

Lu Xun usually walked on the street with his sword sheath, and the turtles freely roaming within Qingling City would bow their heads in salute upon seeing him and his sword sheath.

But now, there were not even any turtles in Qingling City.

After Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei had walked around for a while, he randomly found a chair to sit in, and started checking the forum.

He hadn’t checked the forum for several days, first visiting his uncle’s house, then there was the Junior Priest matter, and yesterday he was copying Mr. Ink Bamboo’s painting. He had been occupied every day and had no time to relax and check the forum’s posts.

Apparently, the Demon Sect had sent people to clear the city.

“Strange, why clear the city? The Eastern Region should be the safest area on the continent right now, and there are Demon Sect disciples stationed in Qingling City. There should be no reason to evacuate this large city.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Mao Nanbei was still sitting on Lu Xun’s shoulder. Lu Xun gently pinched Mao Nanbei’s little foot, and suggested to her when she looked at him, “Fourth sister, let’s go to the ‘Turtle’s Longevity’, and see if there’s anyone there.”

“Okay.” Mao Nanbei was also curious about it.

Turtle’s Longevity, as a trial ground inside Demon Sect’s Qingling City, was a place that Lu Xun was quite familiar with.

He soon turned into a narrow alley with an old well at the end. He jumped directly into it with Mao Nanbei.

With a “plop” sound, he had the sensation of penetrating a thin membrane and entered the passage inside.

More precisely, he was inside the Black Turtle’s shell.

As soon as he entered, he heard someone shouting, “Who’s there!”

A group of Demon Sect disciples approached, upon seeing Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei, they immediately saluted, saying, “Disciples pay our respects to the Fourth Elder and Little Elder!”

“No need to be so formal.” Lu Xun replied kindly.

He looked around and asked, “Is Elder E here?”

“The Guardian is here.” The leading male disciple immediately replied.

“Take me to him.” Lu Xun ordered.

“Yes!” The male disciple immediately led the way.

The surrounding disciples all cast envious glances at him, especially the female disciples, who wished they could take his place and spend more time with the Little Elder.

Just saying “I guided the Little Elder”, would give them bragging rights for a month among the other sisters back in the sect!

Since the Turtle’s Longevity area was quite vast, the disciple chose to fly with his sword.

Lu Xun who was a Great Cultivator, simply levitated.

His levitation surprised the surrounding Demon Sect disciples.

“The Little Elder is now a Great Cultivator!”

“If you carefully calculate it, I joined the sect earlier than the Little Elder, but the Little Elder is two major realms higher than me!”

“The Little Elder is indeed the strongest among the younger generation. The next time we meet people from other sects, we can flaunt him!”

Lu Xun heard some of the discussions behind him. He remained indifferent to them as he was used to them by now.

After a while of flying, they arrived at a small pool.

In the pool, a large alligator raised its head to look at Lu Xun and said in human language, “Lu lad, you’re already at the fifth realm!”

After speaking, he looked at Mao Nanbei and continued, “If you don’t start to cultivate properly, Mao lass, Lu lad will be catching up soon.”

“You’re full of shit!” Mao Nanbei retorted angrily.

The alligator laughed heartily, then his body emitted black light, and he transformed into an extremely ugly old man in a black robe.

The Guardian of Turtle’s Longevity, Elder E, was an old friend of Senior Yanli from when he traveled the world in his early years. They addressed each other as friends, so he can naturally call Lu Xun ‘lad’ and Mao Nanbei, ‘lass’.

“Speak up, Lu lad, what brings you to me?” Elder E stretched out his body, opened his big mouth, and asked.

People say that those with small mouths give hickies (also called ‘strawberries’) and those with big mouths give ‘fire cupping’. Elder E’s mouth shape, was undoubtedly the latter.

“Elder E, why is Qingling City empty?” Lu Xun got straight to the point.

“The Great Saint ordered it.” Elder E replied.

“The Great Saint?” Lu Xun was startled.

Mao Nanbei, sitting on Lu Xun’s shoulder, gently kicked his chest and said, “He’s referring to Elder Gui!”

“Elder Gui is a Great Saint of the Monster Clan?” Lu Xun was surprised.

“You didn’t know?” Mao Nanbei was even more surprised.

“Nobody told me before.” Lu Xun shrugged.

Elder E looked solemn and said seriously, “Elder Gui is not only the last Black Turtle in the world, he’s also the last Great Saint of our Monster Clan!”

As a Great Saint, a ninth realm monster, compared to Elder Gui, even Elder E was insignificant, a little alligator at best.

Mao Nanbei supplemented for Lu Xun, “Little Junior Brother, the Black Turtle Clan is one of the strongest races in the Monster Clan. Each Black Turtle, from the moment of its birth, possesses the strength comparable to a fifth realm Great Cultivator.”

Lu Xun: “…”

So, after all my hard work to level up to over fifty, these creatures are born with it?

His master only told Lu Xun that the Black Turtle Clan had a terrifying lifespan. Even without cultivation, they had a long life to deplete, and that’s why Elder Gui could always stay by the master’s side while his other old friends had passed away.

“Master never mentioned Elder Gui’s strength?” Lu Xun thought to himself, “Maybe in the master’s eyes, being born with the fifth realm isn’t worth mentioning compared to living a long life.”

Or perhaps…the ninth realm is just commonplace in the master’s eyes?

Surviving was Elder Gui’s biggest advantage!

Lu Xun looked at Elder E, puzzled, “Why did Elder Gui ask Demon Sect to evacuate Qingling City? What’s the reason?”

“He didn’t say.” Elder E replied.

Then he lifted a finger and pointed around, asking, “Lu lad, do you see where we are now?”

“We’re inside the Black Turtle’s shell, I already know that.” Lu Xun answered, seeming to remind him that he wasn’t completely clueless.

Elder E nodded in acknowledgement and said, “I suspect that it has something to do with this shell.”

Lu Xun found this speculation reasonable upon hearing it.

Qingling City was built on the Black Turtle’s shell, and the shell of the Black Turtle served as a large protective shield for the city, guarding it like a large array.

But what if the shell needs to be activated?

Then naturally it would affect Qingling City.

“I feel like Master and Elder Gui are preparing something.” Lu Xun thought to himself, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.
